| 635664 | 2008-01-31 07:34:00 | Very good point. While their opinions may be valid (but often are not) we are not interested. The news should not be what anyone thinks about the news. Report the facts and only the facts, please, "live" or otherwise. You make a point there as an assumption. When you say, "we are not interested" I could assume that this includes all members of this forum. *I* may not be interested in *your* opinion for example and you may not be intersted in mine. This attitude (in my opinion) is fine by me. Now this may be semantic but just think about it. This whole Forum (PressF1 and ChatF1) is very full of opinion. Some of this opinion helps and some does not. This even includes my opinion. Most people receive some information on a daily basis and I believe it is over to the person recieving to filter this according to moral values and experience. Just give me the facts and I will make of them what I will. |

A person or persons may answer. Until a "crime" is before a court it would not be out of the question to report the facts. That is if it is a FACT. Have you ever seen a report on media where the so called witness identified a particular person? |

| 635666 | 2008-01-31 18:19:00 | I often wonder if the film they show of floods and drouts they show regularly every few months is genuine. One flood looks just like any other. Last years parched paddock looks the same as this years. Another thing that annoys me. How can TV manage to show film of "boy racers" in action. Yet the poice don't know where they are racing. Also nothing qualifies as "news" unless they have film of it. |

I have seen footage of my house when it was flooded a few years back recycled numerous times, Mostly if there is a report of flooding in Wanganui they run what must be now there stock Wanganui flood footage....but I have also seen my house shown on flood reprts where the location is hundreds of miles away. And I saw it it a documentry :eek: Budget. |

| 635668 | 2008-01-31 21:07:00 | I like to receive the raw feeds that will likely become the live feeds from the scene of whatever they are promoting . I have a number of RSS feeds that pop up when something is happening and go to the raw data link . Some really good live feeds that come to mind are (although these are 'way before the internet): 1) The the famous 6 . 6 earthquake here in California an hour before sunrise, at 6:01 AM, PST, on February 9, 1971 . I was in one of the hospitals that got hit badly . . . so bad I could not open the door of my shared room and had to take another guy down off his body traction and crawl out on an adjoining roof with him in tow to get out of harm's way . Channel 5 Live! (KTLA-Los Angeles) was the first to come back on the air with Stan Chambers . . and we got to see the live feed from the epicenter of the quake . Not filters or edited . . it was live . 2) The Watts Riots in August 1965 . My future wife's twin sister's boyfriend was the first Caucasian guy killed in the riots . . . . . he was delivering bottled water and got hit by bullets . We saw it live on KTLA-5 again . 3) The SLA shootout in Long Beach was another live feed . New broadcasting technology (smaller portable cameras and more nimble and versatile mobile units that made it easier to cover unfolding news events) had just recently been acquired by KTLA-TV station, so Tania, Teko and Yolanda were able to watch the televised siege live from their hotel room in the city of Anaheim . I was towing away vehicles at the request of the FBI on the streets around and in front of the gun battle . . and I had to hide in the truck cab to stay out of the bullets and shrapnel . . . I was THAT close . My ears were ringing . I think real live feeds are good . . but if they get to the cutting room . . . then they are a hoax . |

| 635669 | 2008-01-31 21:21:00 | Lost edit time: I also saw Bobbie Kennedy and John F. Kennedy get assassinated, Jack Ruby get shot in the stomach, saw the two planes hit the towers in NYC although that was a delayed re-broadcast of private videos. All through the magic of television live cameras. One strange/funny story that happened as we (my parents. my sister and I) were eating at our first "Chris-n-Pitts" BBQ restaurant in Downey, California after we had just arrived that very morning from New Jersey. The TV was on in the liquor bar and it had a gunfight and shootout..the perp was shot and partially fell out of the front house window and the cameras got it all..the smoking guns and the blood dripping out of the guy's nose and mouth. It was live on TV...but we just looked out through the large windows in the restaurant and saw the actual scene..LIVE and in living color...across the street where the gunfight actually happened. We saw it either way...out the restaurant window or on the TV! Now..THAT'S live coverage! :yuck: |

| 635670 | 2008-02-01 03:25:00 | TV's "live coverage" is getting beyond a joke . Last night for an article about the drought down south they had their reporter standing on Oriental Quay (Bay?) in Wellington with the beach-goers sitting on the sand behind her . All she did was say a few words to introduce the news clips about the drought, something which could easily have been prerecorded earlier in the afternoon . Why they had to do a "live" coverage mystified me . Like mister harbies says, if you're a person who relies on the captions to understand what is going on, you miss a great deal of the story . I really wish they would give it up . It's totally unnecessary most of the time . :groan: |
